Former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson testified that Trump was 'raging' after SCOTUS rejected his case.
What happened at Thursday's hearing:
White House security officials were “in a state of shock” about the idea of Trump walking from the rally to the Capitol, one official testified, because it meant the event was no longer a rally, but “this would move from a normal, democratic, public event into something else.” Trump confidant Roger Stone told Danish filmmakers on Nov. 1, 2020, that then-president needed to declare victory no matter the results. “Possession is nine-tenths of the law,” he said.Committee member Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., blamed an unrepetant Trump for the attack on the Capitol building.
“I think the events at the Capitol were shocking and it was something that as I mentioned that I cannot put aside," Chao said on videotape. Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., said the tweet ignited “violent hashtags” such as “execute Mike Pence.” Anika Collier Navaroli, a Twitter employee who testified in front of the committee, said, Twitter users were “literally calling for his execution.”New video shows Pelosi on phone with Pence discussing resuming election certification
Pelosi is shown speaking on the phone with local leaders about the security situation, saying at one point:"Do you believe this?" “I’m gonna call up the effin Secretary of DOD,” said Schumer, before calling acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller and tellnig him: “We have some senators who are still in their hideaways. We need massive personnel now, can you get the Maryland National Guard too?”
“President Trump refused entreaties from his closest advisors and family members to tell his supporters to stand down and leave the Capitol,” Raskin said, referencing testimony from White House staff, including Pat Cippollone, Cassidy Hutchinson, and “an employee with national security employee duties,” among others.
“The people sworn to protect the safety of the president of the United States and who routinely put themselves in harm's way were compared this was a bad idea,” said Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., one of the committee members.During the January 6 capitol riot hearings, former Trump adviser Steve Bannon said Trump planned to say he won election even before voting began.Jan.
An anonymous former White House employee told the committee that “they remember hearing in the days after Jan. 6, how angry the President was when he was in a limo that afternoon.” The intelligence cited online calls to occupy federal buildings, rhetoric about invading the Capitol and plans to engage in political violence, Schiff said.
“Their plan is to literally kill people. Please, please take this tip seriously and investigate further,” the source said. The Secret Service knew before the attack on the Capitol that the crowd forming for Trump’s rally had guns, as early as the night before the attack, according to evidence presented by Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., for the Jan. 6 committee.
“Calm before the storm,” one Secret Service agent texted another early that morning, according to evidence reviewed by the Jan. 6 committee.By 9:30 a.m. on Jan. 6, Secret Service agents reported more than 25,000 people outside the Ellipse, where Trump later gave a speech that encouraged his loyalists to march to the Capitol.
